I think it's easier to read the `index.noun` file directly. Have a lot at http://wordnet.princeton.edu/man/wndb.5WN for the format of that file (it's an easy to parse, line-oriented text file.) Example content of the `index.noun` file: `... ablution n 1 2 @ + 1 0 00251698 abm n 1 1 @ 1 0 02691561 abnaki n 2 1 @ 2 0 09507567 06815704 abnegation n 2 2 @ + 2 0 07105993 00202053 abnegator n 1 2 @ + 1 0 09611669 abney_level n 1 1 @ 1 0 02643435 abnormal_condition n 1 2 @ ~ 1 0 14309161 abnormal_psychology n 1 1 @ 1 0 06057161 abnormalcy n 1 2 @ ~ 1 0 14309161 ...` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
